Colorado has inaugurated America’s first openly-Gay governor and no one seems to have noticed: Jared Polis, left, a businessman who took his parents’ small greeting card company online and turned it into an internet giant, was a five-term member of Congress who seldom conforms to Gay stereotypes. He is crashingly boring, a policy nerd termed the “worst-dressed Congressman ever” by a leading men’s fashion magazine. He is married to Marlon Reis; they are parents of a boy and a girl. In fact, Cora, age 4, stole the show at the inauguration, wandering the stage while Daddy spoke about… whatever it is that governors speak about. (Benjamin Rasmussen/The New York Times)
